In the early days, the word "Chiropractor" for
many people conjured up images of quacks claiming to improve asthma or ear
infections. Today, people generally either swear by it or feel that it is a
scam designed to coerce people into a regimen of repeat visits. So, while
opinion remains somewhat divided about the benefits of chiropractic care, Beverly Hills chiropractic
practices have been popping up all over the world.
In essence, the chiropractic philosophy revolves around proper
maintenance of the spine through manipulations and adjustments in order to
support a healthy nervous system. A doctor of chiropractic care is also able to
treat a wide variety of muscle-skeletal problems using traditional, manual
adjusting procedures, as well as mechanical multi-thrust instrument adjusting.
Currently there are about 200 chiropractic techniques and 31
chiropractic colleges within the United States, Canada, Australia, and Europe.
After graduating, most chiropractors enter into practice with the intent of
correcting spinal mis-alignments that interfere with normal functioning of the
spinal cord and surrounding nerves. In addition to the techniques mentioned
previously, a doctor of chiropractic care may also employ heat and cold to loosen
muscles, as well electric pads and ultrasound.
The spinal cord and the surrounding nerves are the focus of
chiropractic care. Modern chiropractors understand that various conditions or
maladies may be affected by these nerves and their nervous system pathways that
impact related organs and tissues. When there is a disturbance within this bony
mechanism (the spine), the disturbance may disrupt the normal balance and
harmony within our bodies. The resulting disturbances in the nervous system can
manifest through pain or pain symptoms, or in other less obvious ways that
aren't immediately obvious, until the disease becomes more intense.
After many years of study and independent research, evidence
supports chiropractic as being successful at treating back and neck pain as
well as other muscle-skeletal conditions. Continuing research is still being
undergone in order to determine the efficacy of chiropractic care for the rest
of the nervous system and related maladies, and overall health.
Wherever you live and seek treatment, it is important to
research all of the health care professionals in your area before choosing your
doctor. For residents of the greater Los Angeles area, Beverly Hills is home to
some of the best. A skilled Beverly
Hills chiropractor will work in conjunction with other health care
professionals in order to establish a complete and comprehensive approach to
rehabilitating the patient, as well as adhere to the highest standards of
